Homer Simpson Appears Live on Stage—as a Hologram

"D'oh! I'm a holographic rendering!"

Following in the holographic footsteps of Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur, Homer Simpson appeared on stage at Comic-Con 2014 over the weekend. Homer the hologram answered some basic Q&A-style questions and made his creator, Matt Groenig, dance with him on stage.

No doubt we'll see more of this kind of thing as holographic technology becomes more common. Imagine a game designer at E3 introducing their new character, or Pixar debuting its new protagonist in holographic form.
